Magical views over the ocean

"This cottage offers superb views of the ocean - almost as if you were onboard a ship ! The extra large patio doors of the living room open on a deck and a magnificient view of Thatcher Island and its Twin Lights. Plus, the cottage is only minutes away from either Gloucester and Rockport. It's central location is perfect to visit all the interesting spots on Cape Ann. The interior of the cottage is comfortable and accurately presented in the photos.
If you are looking for a calm and quiet place centrally located, this cottage is for you. We will definitely return and we warmly recommend it.

Adorable Home - Convenient location

"Adorable home with great sized kitchen; washer & dryer are a bonus to renters; living room could use a comfortable chair as an alternative to the sectional couch for seating; bedrooms are accommodating, however a bed in one upstairs bedroom had a broken box spring frame. The backyard picture is outdated - unfortunately the lovely flower garden in the center of the back yard no longer exists - it is now a large unkept overgrown circle of some sort of thorny bush - difficult for small children to play around. As noted in another review - the stairs are extremely steep for young children to navigate and upstairs bedrooms have no doors for privacy or sound control from downstairs. Otherwise this house is a great location, easy walk to Rockport village shops, restaurants and lovely Front Beach - quiet & peaceful to watch sailboat classes and paddle boarders ."

WORTH CONSIDERING STRONGLY!

"We are "professional renters". Vacation renters in US and abroad. My wife and two children were very pleased with The Jewel. I know Rockport well having spent many summer weeks there in my childhood. The Jewel has a great location, off street parking, very nice neighbors in building and Deb allows small dogs. The unit is VERY clean and well constructed. AC is a bonus and is in the main room. To get AC in the bedroom must leave bedroom door open which may reduce privacy if staying with children. Access to bathroom is through the bedroom as well. Not a problem, just something to consider so that expectations are met and no surprises. We tried to book it again for a week in summer 2015 but already booked up. There is a reason for the early filling. Instead we are booking the upstairs Penthouse unit that Deb was gracious to show us on our day of departure last summer. Very impressive.
Deborah is awesome. I have never met a host as helpful, genuine and kind as she and I have met some. The process was transparent and smooth and all expectations were met or exceeded. The Jewel is a "slam dunk" rental in a great little town."

Perfect beach house for families

"We just returned from a wonderful week at this beach house. We were three adults and one (very active) three year old. The location was perfect, on a quiet lane less than a 10 minute walk from Front Beach (a perfect beach for young and old alike) and the main streets of Rockport. The house was spacious and had everything we needed. The back and side yards were excellent for a BBQ, berry picking, and basketball. The cook in our party (not me) would have preferred a larger assortment of (sharper) cooking knives, but the kitchen is otherwise well stocked. We had a wonderful time, and would stay here again on our next trip to Rockport."
